Pinging the Key House Races Ping List with the 24 April Update.
This is THE list!!! Thanks...
I got no answer so about Tuesday of this week I called his Waco office number, given on his Homepage. A FAX machine answered so I called the Bryan office and got an answering machine where I left a detailed message, telling him I am in a safe Republican district and offering help. NOTHING!
Thursday I get an email asking for a contribution!!
Today (Friday 23rd)I called Waco again, FAX machine. I called Bryan and got the same answering machine.
I emailed him today.
My hope of beating Chet Edwards is sinking fast.
A note to the Key House Races Ping List:
We’re looking for a few people who would be willing to search a couple of news sources (specific ones would be assigned) each morning and evening and gather news articles relating to the election in general and House races in p articular to be linked on Key House Races. If you would do this, freepmail randita. Thanks.
“We’ve added Rothenberger to our list of “Expert Election Evaluators”.”
Don’t you mean Stuart Rothenberg? He, along with Charlie Cook, are two of the best political prognosticators in the business.
We have to keep our strength. The more congress and Obama piss us off the more the voting public will vote them out. I HOPE!
How can ND and SD have 2 RAT house members and 3/4 RAT senators.
These 2 states are the 2 worst in the union. They give us 6 for the POTUS every election but 5/6 socialist rats for congress.
WHY? What is wrong with these people.
With the house districts gerrymandered in 2000 there are more conservative districts. If we can not win back the house when all members are up in this political environment we are doomed. But with only a few posts here maybe the country fell back asleep after the death care vote
It puzzles me that FL-2 is predicted to go Dem in the 2010 election. Somebody hasn’t done much research on how much Alan Boyd is detested here.
This district is very conservative and Boyd played that card every election but they are on to him now. (It has been rumored that Boyd is not going to run again....that he has been promised a Dept. of Agriculture job.)
I’m not sure who the leading contender is.
NC-8: I wouldn't list Tim D'Annunzio first. Most of what he's done is make himself look foolish. Being a loudmouth doesn't make him the conservative choice. Ret. Colonel Lou Huddleston has gotten some attention, but it looks like support is coalescing around Harold Johnson.
SD-AL: I would add challenger state rep. Kristi Noem http://kristiforcongress.com/ in one of the "additional" slots.
ID-1: Michael Chadwick? Really?
FL-8: There are at least two bona fide conservative major candidates (state rep. Kurt Kelly, Dan Webster) running, but neither is listed. There are two longshots and Bruce O'Donaghue, who is not terrible but generally considered a more moderate type.
FL-24: I would add Craig Miller http://craigmillerforcongress.com/ to the candidate list since he's likely to finish the primary in the top two; not sure who to boot off, though.
FL-2: Allen Boyd - two L's, one A, one E.
There are a few other races you could include, but maybe give it another month on those.
Awesome work!
Please, please, PLEASE add me to your Ping List.
Pretty please? :)
In FL 8, who is the strongest Pubbie to take on that wacko, Alan Grayson?
LEANS D.....LIKELY D.....LEANS D........LIKELY D.....LEANS D...
Good Grief Charlie Brown, if your “experts” truly are “experts” then we can forget all those “gains” the GOP was supposed to make this year. Geesh.....depressing.
The following turned up in my inbox on the 24th. Run hard, Raul!

Michael Chadwick Withdraws from Race for U. S. Congress
In 2010 and Enters Race for U.S. Senate in 2014
- Endorses Raul Labrador
- Announces Campaign for U.S. Senate in Idaho in 2014
Statement by Michael L. Chadwick
April 24, 2010
“Powerful special interests groups in New York City and Washington, D.C. are attempting to disenfranchise the voters in Idaho’s First Congressional District by placing a candidate or surrogate in office that will support their private corporate interests. These groups with the aid of U.S. Senator John McCain, former Governor Dirk Kempthorne and a host of prominent neo-conservatives are seeking to deceive the voters in Idaho into selecting a young Washington, D.C. insider as their new representative. These groups are attempting to stage a political coup in Idaho with the aid of the media and national and state GOP leaders.”
“Vaughn Ward is a stealth candidate – a manufactured candidate – a neo-conservative in the tradition of John McCain. He is not a true conservative. He is attempting to deceive the people of Idaho with slick TV ads and misleading rhetoric. Ward has been selected by elite special interests in New York and Washington, D.C. to serve as their surrogate in the U.S. Congress. We must not allow the elite in America to choose elected representatives of Idaho or elsewhere. Ward’s accomplishments in the military and the CIA have been embellished and are based upon statements by those who seek to place him in power.”
“A monumental battle is being waged in Idaho between the forces of Wall Street who are aligned with powerful special interest and lobbying organizations in Washington, D.C. and the grass roots voters of Idaho. The elite in New York City and Washington, D.C. are working diligently to place Vaughn Ward in office and they will succeed unless the grass roots rise up and support Raul Labrador.”
“It is time for the voters of Idaho to unite behind, support and elect Raul Labrador as the next U.S. Congressman from Idaho. He is a true conservative in the tradition of Ronald Reagan. He has a proven track record of legislative accomplishments in the Idaho State Legislature. He co-sponsored the Idaho Health Freedom Act and is a real leader with proven credentials. He will represent the views of the common man, not the elite in Washington, D.C. He will put Main Street ahead of Wall Street and seek to restore the principles of state sovereignty and personal liberty.”
“We do not want a repeat of the 2006 congressional race where one candidate won the primary election with less than 26 percent of the votes. Therefore, I am withdrawing from the race for U.S. Congress in Idaho’s First congressional District effective today.
“I am proud to endorse Raul Labrador for U.S. Congress and I encourage the good and honorable people of Idaho to elect him as the next U.S. Congressman from Idaho.”
